18 FEB 2020 · Have you ever slipped when trying to avoid sugar, quit smoking, or break another habit or addiction? Usually, that one piece of cake or one cigarette won’t ruin your whole plan, but for people struggling with cocaine addiction, one slip can undo months of hard work. What if cocaine could be made less euphoric, so that a single use by a recovering addict doesn’t result in a full-blown relapse? Scientists at the Mayo Clinic recently published progress toward making this idea a reality – a gene therapy that would treat cocaine addiction by making cocaine less rewarding.

5 FEB 2020 · Reasons Vs Excuses; We all have reasons we do the things we do or don't do. People often get the two confused. For example if you grew up seeing people argue or treat others badly, it may be a "reason" why you do it; a shitty reason at that I may add, but it's not an excuse, it doesn't make it right and doesn't actually excuse your shitty behavior.

3 FEB 2020 · Sometimes it's hard to make choices, we often react to things instead of acting on them, we base our decisions on emotions instead of basing them on logic, and if you're like most people this typically doesn't end with the best result that could be. When you take a second and think about every possible way to deal with a situation and analyze every possible outcome things just work better. and you can relate this to any situation, whether it be your job, a relationship, a new idea, just about anything.

5 JAN 2020 · Making changes isn't easy. and iv been doing a lot of it lately! Turning from a life of selfishness, partying, drugs and just straight the fuck up living wrong! To become a better person takes a lot of self-exploration, self-discovery and being real about your faults! Iv spent too many years of my life living wrong and being ungrateful for what I have and the things people have done for me. Changing the life you live and the choices you make is really fucking hard. But to reinvent yourself you don't have to focus on changing yourself you only have to focus on the choices you make and the thoughts you have! Thoughts become actions and actions have rewards or consequences. Follow The Link Below To support Beyond Average Thoughts! https://www.patreon.com/beyondaveragethoughts
